Karnataka, by reposing its faith in BSY, remains a Hindutva stronghold, reports R Rajagopalan.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday unveiled a new version of the procurement manual of the premier military research institute Defence Research and Development Organisation featuring simplified procedures for the involvement of the private sector in various research and development projects.
'There is a conscious move by the BJP to distance itself from the current state leadership.'
Success in Karnataka's assembly polls will hinge on two factors: Drop a large number of incumbent MLAs and project Modi and not the state leaders, least of all Bommai.
Worried over those under home quarantine going out and mingling with others, the Karnataka government wants them to confirm their location through selfies.
'It was not the individual's decision. It was the collective decision (that BSY should resign).'
'We are seeing an era where only what Modi wishes is going to happen.' 'A clear message has now been sent to others that if this fate could befall on Nitin Gadkari, then just think what could happen to lesser mortals.'
We must seize the opportunity provided by the COVID-19 crisis to kick-start indigenous research efforts, recommends Colonel Anil A Athale (retd).
There seems to be no "closure" for B S Yediyurappa, the Bharatiya Janata Party's "comeback man" in Karnataka, as he could never complete a full term in office, despite becoming the chief minister four times, surmounting odds. It's also too early to write a political obituary of the 78-year old Lingayat strongman and the 24X7 politician, the face of the party in the state for decades.
Losing power after having come so close, Yediyurappa was determined to regain the reins of power from H D Kumaraswamy.
